Additional Information
GGU Law is arguably one of the most welcoming and inclusive law school campuses in the country in terms of LGBT
students. San Francisco is renowned for its diversity and openness. Our very active student organization, QLSA, engages in
many activities raising awareness about LGBT issues and works closely with other student groups. The legal implications of
LGBT issues are infused in many courses, not just those that are LGBT specific. The law school has enrolled transgender
students, and GGU Law's faculty and staff includes openly LGBT persons. Applicants are asked if they identify as LGBT on the
application form, and those who are admitted receive a specific welcome letter from an LGBT faculty member.
